Into the Colors.
Song lyrics, Lifeline (2007)

“I believe in a few things:
God the devil and love.
'Cause I've looked up from the bottom
And I've stared down from above.I have faith in a few things:
Divinity and grace.
But even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays.And you're working your way
From the ground on down.”

“In my life I have been blessed
In my life I have been cursed
I have lived the best of times
I have suffered the worst

Do you know where you want to be?
With so many roads to travel,
There's just one can set you free.”

With My Own Two Hands.
Song lyrics, Diamonds on the Inside (2003)

“Could've sworn I heard you say amen this morning, showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels? I guess I bring the devil out in you.
But we can both remove our halos 'cause even an angel needs love too.
Even angels need love too.”

Better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
Be the means to an end?The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The roses from my friends.”

“You see mama don't watch your damn football
And your beer drinkin' just won't do
You're just stayin' out late
And you're preachin' the hate
And you never have been trueYou see mama she want her somebody
Who will let her be herself
So she's leavin' you
And your stinky damn ways
Cause she's found somebody else”

Song lyrics, Welcome to the Cruel World (1994)

“It will make a weak man mighty;
It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands;
Or leave you with nothing at all.
It's the eyes for the blind
And legs for the lame.
It is love for hate,
And pride for shame.That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel.”
